It didn't quite live up to Nyla/Riho II but that's not an indictment. Great match, both women looked great and the match was a delight.

Nth. Also really looking forward to a rematch.

WMOTYC: Tetsuya Naito vs. EVIL, NJPW Dominion, 12/07

Yeah ngl I initially rolled my eyes at this but the more I reflect on this match the more I feel the need to Nth this.

It was nothing. It was 40 minutes of loving nothing. It had a handful of things that amused me, yes, but that doesn't really make up for the bulk of the match just being a big waste of time.

A match that starts with the babyface pounding his former friend's face into a table, has a table spot so good that the ref warning off the heel causes the crowd to explode in applause, featurs two sets of run ins and a reveal (on top of the usual big moves and near falls) apparently was "loving nothing." OK.

It was a boring, overlong match whose small amount of high points (one of which involved two people not even in the drat match) did nothing to make up for the loving snooze-worthy timesink that made up a good chunk of it.

also going to make sure that anyone who reads this thread and sees the posts but hasnt seen the match also knows - the postmatch for Cody vs. Mr. Brodie was absolutely incredible too. Segment of the year candidate

Yeah would it be possible to denote "plus postmatch" on the list itself just for posterity. I stand by my MOTYC before that even get kicked in but anyone who goes back and watches the match absolutely should watch that too.

Nth

At 3 matches that qualified and a 4th that had multiple votes, All Out had more WMOTYs than any other AEW event in its existence. With Full Gear two months away they have a chance to make up for it soon though!

lol 2 of the qualifiers ended up in HM or MOTY

HM: Kenny Omega vs Jon Moxley, AEW Dynamite, 12/2

extremely fun match but not actually a MOTYC contender by any means given all the weird angle poo poo, the picture in picture killing the heat, and some awkward timing botches. honestly, this was exactly the right match to have on free TV, and much better than if they'd tried earnestly to do a PPV MOTYC type match. save that for later and instead get a ton of heat off a weird fucky finish, I had a blast

I'll HM this myself entirely due to the PiP. I know there's not really anything they can do about it but it just took me out each time.
